What FreeSurfer Does…
FreeSurfer creates computerized models of the brain from MRI data.
Input: T1-weighted (MPRAGE) 1mm3 resolution (.dcm) Output: Segmented & parcellated conformed volume (.mgz)
Recon
“recon your data” …short for reconstruction …cortical surface reconstruction …shows up in command recon-all

Registration
Goal: to find a common coordinate system for the input data sets Examples: comparing different MRI images of the same individual (longitudinal scans, diffusion vs functional scans) comparing MRI images of different individuals
target
Inter-subject, uni-modal example
flirt 6 DOF subject flirt 9 DOF flirt 12 DOF
Linear registration: 6, 9, 12 DOF
Flirt 6 DOF Flirt 9 DOF Flirt 12 DOF subject target
Linear registration: 6, 9, 12 DOF
target subject Flirt 6 DOF Flirt 9 DOF Flirt 12 DOF
Linear registration: 6, 9, 12 DOF
target subject Flirt 6 DOF Flirt 9 DOF Flirt 12 DOF

Some registration vocabulary
Input datasets:
Fixed / template / target Moving / subject
Transformation models
rigid affine nonlinear
Objective / similarity functions Applying the results
deform, morph, resample, transform
Interpolation types
(tri)linear nearest neighbor
